It feels like they found their game in this game.
Stopping pucks when it needs to be stopped is the one major booster on any team. When you know your goaltender’s got that, you play with a lot more confidence and can cover a lot more space.
That Höglander kid... a rookie...
That Juolevi kid... 1st round pick... a rookie...
Hughes had a much better game this time around.
Schmidt seems to be finding his game.
McEwen had a super game.
Motte was flying out there and is a constant threat...
Roussel polices perfectly at the end of the game so it doesn’t get out of control. There is a back to back with them Wednesday and Thursday.
Miller is gearing up his angerness of angerblood. Watch out when that line clicks.
Pettersson looked like Pettersson regardless of his contribution on paper tonight. GuaranTEED multiple people on the bench told him “peetey you gotta shoot that puck!”
And he shot the next time he had such a chance.
They all made mistakes and they all made up for it.
Ending up trapped and under siege at the end of almost every period may not be the best strategy going forward.
Let’s work on thääät.
However, Demko was there twice tonight at the end of period one and at the end of period two.
Demko stopped pucks.
All in all, a much better team effort tonight. They were clicking. And they had fun.
Except Peetey.
But Peetey will have fun soon again.
